Such changes shall not <br />invalidate the Contract nor release the Surety, and the Contractor agrees to perform the <br />Work as changed. Among others, these changes and alterations may include: <br />1. Deleting or omitting any part of the Work, Equipment or material to be <br />provided under this Contract, <br />2. Increasing or decreasing quantities, <br />3. Altering Specifications, designs, or both, <br />4. Altering the way the Work is to be done, <br />5. Adding new Work or Extra Work, <br />6. Altering facilities, Equipment, materials, services, or sites, provided by the <br />City, and <br />7. Ordering the Contractor to accelerate or Delay the Work. <br />If the Contractor and City do not agree upon scope of Work changed or adjustment to <br />the Contract Sum and Contract Time, the City may, at its sole option, unilaterally direct <br />the Contractor to implement City directed change by notice. The City shall not pay or <br />be responsible or liable for changes implemented by the Contractor without explicit <br />notice from the City to proceed. <br />1-04.4(2) Extra Work <br />(******) <br />At its sole option, the City may (1) perform Extra Work itself, (2) employ others to do it, <br />(3) direct the Contractor to perform the Extra Work at existing unit Bid price, (4) direct <br />the Contractor to perform the Extra Work at a mutually agreed upon price, or (5) direct <br />the Contractor to perform the Extra Work on a Force Account basis. <br />1-04.4(3) Change Orders <br />(******) <br />Changes to the Work may result in an increase or decrease in Contract Sum, as provided <br />in 1-09.4 Equitable Adjustment.

Contractor agrees to use the agreed Change Order form attached to the <br />Contract Documents. The Contractor accepts all requirements, terms and conditions of <br />a Change Order by: signing it; writing a separate acceptance; or by failing to notify the <br />City immediately in writing that Contractor disagrees with the Change Order and does <br />not intend to be bound by its terms. <br />The Contractor waives and is estopped from denying its agreement with any unilateral <br />Change Order for which the Contractor does not immediately give Notice to the City as <br />provided in 1-04.5 NOTICE BY CONTRACTOR in these Special Provisions and
